The main fusebox is behind the trapdoor just above the driver's side parcel shelf. There is also a fusebox on the top of the battery with a few very large value fuses in it.2) Check the relays if you can. They are sited in a tray deep inside the dashboard more or less directly behind the main fusebox. If you remove the two screws which hold the fusebox in place you can push it inside the dashboard and then a little to one side or up or down, enough to shine a torch in so you can see the relays end-on. You'll see they all have large three digit numbers printed on them.Howevever, to actually get your hands on the relays you need to remove the horizontal plastic panel above the pedals, release the connector tray and cables you see above and swing them out of the way so you can get at the relays.Sometimes the relays just slowly wiggle their way out of the sockets over time - try pushing them all firmly back in. If one of them sinks back into place with a nice 'click', chances are that was what was causing your problem. Also the relay marked '109' (if fitted on your model) is notorious for going faulty, so if you do have a relay 109 and no other obvious fault, remove relay 109, pop the lid off and carefully examine the solder joints on the printed circuit board for cracks - especially very fine circular cracks around soldered pins/parts.Note all info re: Positions of fuseboxes / relays etc apply to my 1.4 Tdi, but I would imagine they will be in the same places on the MPi.
